8000 years ago when I subscribed to Stereo Review.......
I remember a test that dozens of Audio "golden" ears" tested, "what sounds better Tubes or Transistors?
dozens of ears in a test room, Had a simple toggle switch in front of them in a box.
Tube <> Transistor
no pre-amp or eq. Straight from source to Amp.
The spent several days testing, agonizing overdifferent music types and volumes.
left right left right they'd throw the switch.
Finally THEY decided that the Left position was much warmer, smoother, not as harsh. Tonal. Definitely better
clap clap clap The test organizers smiled.
The Golden Ears opened the box with toggle switch...............
only to find a lump of clay, and no wires hooked up to the switch at all.
he heh heh.
